GH Builders NY

Home services

Software purchasing at GH Builders NY is controlled at the headquarters level by President and CEO Andrew Mason and President Mick Fabar. The franchise currently operates a single franchised unit and mandates the Green Cloud System for operations. With only one addressable location, the total software opportunity is extremely limited, but the mandated tech stack signals a centralized procurement model.

The vendor opportunity at GH Builders NY

GH Builders NY is a home-services franchise with a single franchised unit, according to its 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand operates out of New York and reports no company-owned locations in the available data. For software vendors, the addressable market is exactly one location. There is no disclosed year-over-year unit growth, and no operator footprint beyond that single unit appears in our corpus. Average unit volume is not reported in the FDD, so sizing the wallet at the unit level is not possible from public filings.

The royalty rate is 5.0% of gross revenue, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. These numbers suggest a standard franchisor economic model, but the lack of scale means any software sale here is a one-off deal, not a platform play. Vendors should weigh the cost of enterprise sales cycles against the single-unit reality.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2022 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Andrew Mason, who holds the title of President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mick Fabar, also listed as President. In a single-unit franchise system, these individuals are the de facto buying center. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology named in the filing, so any software pitch should be directed to Mason and Fabar as the likely decision-makers. The absence of a multi-unit operator layer means there is no field-level influence on purchasing; all procurement signals point to headquarters control.

Mandated and current tech stack

GH Builders NY mandates Green Cloud System, as disclosed in the FDD. No other technology vendors are named in the available extracts. This means the operational backbone—whether it covers POS, scheduling, CRM, or field service management—is locked into Green Cloud. Vendors offering complementary or replacement solutions will need to demonstrate integration capabilities or a compelling reason to switch. The mandate also implies that any new software must pass HQ review, reinforcing the centralized buying dynamic.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal purchasing model—designated supplier, approved supplier, or open market—is not publicly known. In practice, with one unit and a mandated system, the procurement process is likely informal but tightly controlled by the two presidents. Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: the franchisee must not be in default, must comply with all material terms, must provide 180 days’ written notice, must sign the then-current franchise agreement and a general release, must pay a renewal fee and all outstanding monetary obligations, and must remodel and upgrade the operations center. The renewal term is 10 years. For software vendors, the 180-day notice window is the clearest signal for when contract reviews might occur, but with only one unit, the timeline is singular and infrequent.

How to read the GH Builders NY FDD

The embedded PDF viewer below contains the full 2022 FDD for GH Builders NY. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives and ownership), Item 11 (mandated systems and suppliers), Item 8 (procurement restrictions, if any), and Item 17 (renewal and renegotiation triggers). Because the brand has only one unit, the FDD is the single best source for understanding the decision-making structure and technology commitments. Review it carefully before allocating sales resources.

There is 1 franchised unit total. Company-owned unit count is not disclosed in the 2022 FDD.
